"Korea: War Without End"

with Robert Lyman

Doors open 7pm, talk from 7:30pm
More details about this talk, and information about Salisbury Military History Society,
can be found on their website: www.salisburymilhist.com


In this insightful talk, Robert Lyman delves into the complexities and enduring impact of the Korean War, as explored in his book Korea: War Without End. Lyman provides a comprehensive analysis of the conflict that began in June 1950 and continues to influence global geopolitics to this day.
Lyman will discuss the initial invasion by North Korea, the strategic counter-stroke by General MacArthur, and the subsequent involvement of Communist China, which escalated the conflict to a global scale. He will examine the critical errors and miscalculations made by both sides, highlighting the chaotic political decision-making that characterized the war’s progression.
The talk will also address the humanitarian impact of the war, with approximately 3 million fatalities and a significant civilian death toll. Lyman will reflect on the war’s legacy, including the ongoing division of the Korean Peninsula and the persistent tensions between East and West.
